Ankle flossing alters periarticular stiffness and arterial blood flow in asymptomatic athletes.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study demonstrating decreased AC and ATFL stiffness and reactive hyperaemia to be key mechanisms of ankle flossing. Additional studies must be conducted to determine whether changes in biomechanical properties influence dynamic ankle stability. PMID: 32586081 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
